MovingToPythonFromOtherLanguages
by D. Joe July 28, 2017

July 28, 2017

The "Thinking in Python" link http://www.mindview.net/Books/TIPython is busted (eg, goes to a drupal login page with no apparent access to any content). I'd like to change it to the page on Eckels site that talks about his Python writings but the page is immutable. My wiki account name is DonaldAnderson (which, incidentally, the creation of which ended in a 504 Gateway Timeout error, even though it seems to have created the account all the same. I was expecting an email confirmation but never saw one.) HTH, D. Joe
